Tipperary All-Ireland winners to feature in live club hurling action on TV next weekend
TIPPERARY ALL-IRELAND hurling winners will be in the spotlight next Sunday afternoon as TG4′s club championship coverage continues.
The Tipperary senior hurling game between JK Brackens and Loughmore-Castleiney will be televised live on Sunday afternoon, with a 2.30pm throw-in at Templetuohy for the Group 3 championship tie.
The match will pit Andrew Ormond, one of the breakout stars for Tipperary this season, in action for JK Brackens against a Loughmore-Castleiney side spearheaded by his county team-mates John, Noel, and Brian McGrath.
